There are going to be peaks and valleys in everything - in your marriage, in your job, in your life. So just enjoy the peaks and ride out the valleys. Just try not to do anything too rash.
I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Chautauqu
You know, my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now, I understand why. If I do my job well, I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.
Mitt Romney
There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, the people who own it, that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all.
Mario Savio, Free Speech Movemen
There are some women who should barely be spoken to; they should only be caressed.
Edgar Degas
There is no such thing as Intelligence; one has intelligence of this or that. One must have intelligence only for what one is doing.
You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.
Drew Barrymore
Today more than ever we need creative minds to address the issues of the age. And one of the most urgent is this: How can humanity know so much, achieve so much, and still fail so many people so badly?
King Abdullah II
The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.
Stella McCartney
I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.
Alanis Morissette
Although I have lived in London, I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me, and it has been too.
Annie Lennox
No marriage can stand up under the strain of incessant association.
Johnny Weissmuller
In praising science, it does not follow that we must adopt the very poor philosophies which scientific men have constructed. In philosophy they have much more to learn than to teach.
Dean Inge
Somehow we can't live outside the politics of race. There's something very deep in all of us, that is taught to us when we are very, very little. Which is the disrespect and fear of the other.
Anna Deavere Smith
I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.
Diana Ross
We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
I respect music, I do. I love it.
Youssou N'Dour
I was very successful from a very early age, and I want to keep it.
John Mayer
Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
Marcel Proust
The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.
Kathryn Bigelow
You learn about equality in history and civics, but you find out life is not really like that.
Arthur Ashe
Obviously a Conservative government will always leave taxes lower than they have been under Labour. Those things go with the territory of the Conservative Party.
William Hague
I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.
Jeanne Moreau
We manage the fear, I manage the fear, but it certainly takes its toll, the strain does.
Christiane Amanpour
Failure and its accompanying misery is for the artist his most vital source of creative energy.
Montgomery Clift
For the longest time I was brought up listening to only two genres of music, pop and rock. So in the past few years I've been trying to expand my interests because I think that you can only write to the extent of your knowledge, and if your knowledge is limited you can't write past that.
Jacqueline Emerson
I did 10 years of comedies and 10 years of Westerns. I really like to stay away from car chases. I prefer the more intimate film. You have a much more direct association with the emotions.
Elmer Bernstein
Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
Keith Richards
Does the imam have a legal right to build the mosque at Ground Zero? The answer is yes. But is it the right thing to do? The answer is no. And most Americans, and most moderate Muslims, join with me in that call.
Kilari Anand Paul
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
B. R. Ambedkar
My actions constituted pure hacking that resulted in relatively trivial expenses for the companies involved, despite the government's false claims.
Kevin Mitnick
Once you're in a particular country, and you're surrounded by musicians who are so adept at traditional music, you suddenly realize how much there is to explore and digest and learn and experience.
Evelyn Glennie
I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.
O. J. Simpson
The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.
Barry Commoner
Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
Mahatma Gandhi
One of the amazing things about the Internet is that the content creators are the gatekeepers. We can think of an idea and execute it quickly, and we didn't have to pitch the idea to a major network or convince a studio head to sign-off on the concept.
Ray William Johnson
Sleep - the most beautiful experience in life - except drink.
W. C. Fields
Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.
Jasmine Guy
I'm so grounded, it's sad.
Patti LaBelle
In a relationship, when does the art of compromise become compromising?
Sarah Jessica Parker
It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political.
